PhD Candidate in Economics

Welcome! I am an economist interested in the genetic and environmental determinants that shape inequalities in human capital, health, and labor market outcomes. Since 2019, I have been researching these topics as part of my PhD-thesis in economics at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam and the Tinbergen Institute. My supervisors are Titus Galama and Maarten Lindeboom.

Additionally, some of my work focuses on the effects of selection bias in large-scale Biobanks that are widely used in medicine, epidemiology, statistical genetics, and the social sciences.

In 2021, I was a semi-finalist for the American Society of Human Genetics Charles J. Epstein Award for Excellence in Human Genetics Research
